Admitting new partners requires adjustments, but also provides planning opportunities
Article Abstract:
Admitting a new partner to a partnership may force the partnership to change its techniques for allocating losses, gains, and income. Reallocations can become especially difficult for partnerships with cash-basis items and partnerships with appreciated property which is revalued when a new partner is admitted. Other important items relating to partnership admission to consider include: allocating basis adjustments; contributing cash; and accounting for the death of a partner.
